$850M

as of 7/6/16

Husband and wife's fortune hasn't recovered from a peak of $8.8 billion in 2011, when together they ranked No. 1 among nation's richest. Shares in mobile phone flagship HTC seem to have bottomed out in first half of 2016 after company pushed into the booming virtual-reality goggle business. Wang also holds shares in Formosa Plastics, the company cofounded by her deceased father, Y.C. Wang, and in media businesses (see box, p. 74).
